My main feedback is that I prefer not adding a new element but reusing a new
value type for the existing size attribute.  Ie. the fonts with this new info
will have their size attribute reflect a range.  Then define the compare
function for a double and a range to the minimum distance from the double to a
member of the range (and define the distance between two ranges similarly).  I
would also keep the Double out of the name.  Just use Range.

HTH, and thanks for the work,
behdad
